Hi,
I have a Mikrotik hAP ac² (RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC), and I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to set VLANs up according to my needs and this device capabilities.
It is going to be a simple solution just for my home.
I was thinking about two solutions.
1) Using only my Mikrotik device which already works as router-firewall/AP and has WAN port for internet access.
So, I would create 3 VLANs:
- VLAN1 on ether2 and ether3, and WLAN1(2.4GHz) WLAN2 (5GHz),
- VLAN2 on ether4 and wlan3(virtual 2.4GHz)
- VLAN3 on ether5)
2) Buying another hAP ac²/ac³ and using this one only as a switch/AP connected to my "old" hAP ac² which would work only as router-firewall.
Of course, I would set up only VLANs on this new brand device, letting my "old" hAP ac² managing them.
UPDATE: this tutorial would be a realiable way for solution 2:

I am not asking for any clean and ready setup (not now at least ), but what would be the best way (for either solution 1 or 2) to get my goal,
since I heard that there can be different suitable setups according to which mikrotik device one is going to use
Thanks
